In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement.  

Additionally, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements, which allows companies to adopt Topic 842 without revising comparative period reporting or disclosures.  ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11 are effective for the Company and the Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019.  The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 using the optional transition approach as of the effective date.  As a result, the Company was not required to adjust its comparative period financial information for effects of the standard or make the new required lease disclosures for periods before the date of adoption (ie. January 1, 2019).  The Company has elected to adopt the package of transition practical expedients and therefore, has not reassessed (1) whether existing or expired contracts contain a lease, (2) lease classification of existing or expired leases or (3) the accounting for initial direct costs that were previously capitalized.  The Company did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight for leases existing at the adoption date.  

The adoption of ASU 2016-02 had a material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, but did not materially impact the consolidated statement of operations.  The most significant changes to the condensed consolidated balance sheet relate to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases.  The adoption of ASU 2016-02 also had no material impact on operating, investing or financing cash flows in the consolidated statement of cash flows.  See Note 17 for further details.  

As a result of adopting ASU 2016-02, the Company recognized operating lease liabilities of $10.4 million (of which $1.7 million was current and $8.7 million was noncurrent) with corresponding ROU assets of $8.0 million as of January 1, 2019.  

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):  Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”, which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and eliminated the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment.  The ASU is effective for public business entities for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.  This ASU should be applied prospectively.  Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017.  The Company is currently evaluating the potential impacts of the new standard. We will adopt this accounting guidance in future periods.
